Pipe Support Details are NOT intended to include pipe support structures such as
large T-Post’s, structural frames or major beams that are normally designed by the
Structural Engineering group, or pipe support and guide brackets from vessels that
are normally designed by the vessel designer.
Allowable loads for the pipe supports shall be established by the Contractor.
Determination concerning fitness for purpose and suitability of application of the pipe
support standard details to engineering situations should not be made solely on the
information contained in the standard detail and is the responsibility of the
Contractor.
Contractor shall use YERP Pipe Support Mark Numbers as shown on the included
Standard Pipe Support details and as defined for Custom and Special Pipe Supports
in section 6.
5.5.1 Brackets from pressure vessels for pipe supports or guides are not addressed by the
Pipe Support Standard details, and are expected to be supplied by others, with
design by the pressure vessel designer. Brackets similar to those shown in PIP
VEFV1100M are specified for use on YERP. Where the brackets shown in PIP
VEFV1100M are unsuitable for the application, special design brackets must be
developed by the contractor in conjunction with the vessel designer.
5.5.2 For uninsulated piping, the pipe guides depicted in PIP VEFV1100M may be used
without any piping supplied guide attachments.
5.5.3 For insulated piping, special pipe guide brackets utilizing a pipe shoe as shown in
Figure 2 or special “box” type brackets with members on four sides of the pipe shall
be requested from the vessel designer by the contractor. Appropriate pipe shoes
from the Pipe Support Standard details shall be specified on the piping.
5.5.4 Pipe trunnions per the Pipe Support Standard details shall be specified on the piping
for support of the piping from the vessel supplied brackets.
6.1.1 Spring supports shall be based on Anvil International, Inc. (formerly Grinnell
Company).
6.1.3 Spring support details (data sheets) shall be prepared by Contractor for each WBS
using YERP Standard Pipe Support Details SH1 thru SH7 as the basis. Spring loads
shall be listed in Newtons [N]. Travel shall be listed in millimeters [mm], with a “D”
for downward travel or a “U” for upward travel.
6.2.1 If the YERP Pipe Support Standard Details are not sufficient to support or restrain
the piping in the scope of a Contract Package, then a Special Pipe Support Detail for
that Contract Package shall be prepared, indexed by WBS and issued as a part of
the Design Package for that Contract Package. Each Contractor created special
pipe support must have its detail drawing numbered in accordance with paragraph
6.3.
6.2.2 Each Special Pipe Support shall be identified by Mark Number as follows:
SPS-WBS-Item
[examples: SPS-148-0001, SPS-144-0001]
Where:
SPS = Acronym for Special Pipe Support;
WBS = the applicable WBS code;
Item = the 4 digit sequential item number within the WBS.
Spring support and Special Pipe Support details shall be numbered in accordance
with YERP Project Procedure Manual, “Project Procedure 103, Document
Numbering Procedure” (Doc. No. 100-YER-PM-PPM-0003) and indexed in
accordance with 6.4.
The format of the document number shall be:
3 WBS-PCK-PE-P60-xxxx
[example: 148-SP6-PE-P60-0002]
Where:
WBS = the applicable WBS code;
3 PCK = The YERP contract package “Originator Code” per Project Procedure 103
Appendix B, Document No. 100-YER-PM-PPM-0003;
xxxx = the sequence number within the WBS. Sequence number 0001 shall be
reserved for the Index per 6.4
All Custom and Special Pipe Support details shall be indexed for each WBS by the
Contractor. The Index shall follow the format of Attachment “A” – Sample Custom
and Special Pipe Support Index. The Index shall be numbered per 6.3 with
sequence number 0001.
